For those interested on the progress, it is going along. Here is a What's new file that I have pretty much kept updated from day 1.

(newest stuff at the top)

Started the History Hint section under the tools. It DOES NOT save
the hints at this time. No option setting screen yet, adding different
events from the players history file.

Added a new players development screen. So now the toggle works
three ways.

Fixed a bug regarding the game by game screen whereas it was not
showing the proper win/loss result for away games

Added autosave screen size to development screen and a couple others

Added the fictional logo part of the program, you must download
the fictional logos

Fixed the St. Louis Logo problem. OOTP was strippng out the DOT
so now I am.

Added the ability to add historical logos to the Almanac. Very fast
routine, adds 68 years of logs in less than a minute

Having no fun with the box scores, so moved on for now.

Open league, click on the TEST button on the main screen

Then click a + to open a year and then click on a team. For now, you
have to click it twice (NOT DOUBLE CLICK) and then click on the
team name on the right and the players on that team will appear

Not sure how I will use this, but was an experiment to learn how to use
tree view

Added Box Browser in it's early stages. After you do an Almanac
Box Score search, a new one or an old one. the Box Browser will
be enabled from the menu. It will load a new window that will allow
you to easily browse that player's box scores that are significant.

Next, a tree (I hope) will be added on the left with a year by year
break down. All sorts of searchs will be performed from this page, like
show all box scores vs. a certain team or vs. a certain pitcher or
when said player hit HR, was Player of game, etc.

Updated Alamanac Search. It now indexes it, so the 1st time you run it
it takes about 15 seconds to search through each almanac year, but
the 2nd time you run it on a player, it pops up right away. Future years
are also quicker, as it only searches through the almanac years that
are not searched.

This information is stored in AU2008/ALMANAC - There is a INI file for
the player based on his ID. Inside it is the last year that the almanac
was checked. There is another file with a TXT extension. This contains
the actual games. There is an addiional file that has ALL_ in the beginning
of the name. This contains EVERY box score that said player has in the
almanac. I will use this information in another part of the program.

Add almanac search, very slow right now, will be speeded up. Also will be
indexed, so if you do an almanac search Bill Freehan it will save this
information in another file, so next time you search Bill, it will come up
instantly unless a new almanac year exists, then it will just search the
new almanac year.

Added Box score search, will search through box scores collecting
ones that have the selected player as PLAYER of GAME, being injured
or other items that are displayed after the PLAYER OF GAME text
in the HTML. You can then double click on the box score and it will display
the box score in your browser

Added a game by game report for the players for the current year on
the players page

Added vs LHP/RHP stat break down in Player screen, added a
way to see RATINGS ONLY

New logo on splash screen

Added a career contract total to the Player Screen, same screen
you can also filter out the minor league stats

Fixed the LOGO problem. Delete the HistoricalLogo folder and
download it again and run the exe

Added the ability to just show a team under UPDATE PLAYERS

Removed the PITCHES SEEN and also removed the ROWS header

Added a photo count when adding photos, also tweaked the screen
refresh. Checked the code for errors with just 2 leagues, no problems

Added a RIGHT CLICK button on the list of the NO PHOTO players. This
allows you to do a search at the websites for images from this page.

Added GAMBO Search. It searches the OOTP Photo folder 1st. However,
if it finds a match in this folder and in the year by year folder
it will use the year by year folder.
